Opening Mp4 file from nautilus context menu.

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Opening Mp4 file from nautilus context menu.
2. Opening same Mp4 file in project bin says "Cannot open file"
3. Same files can be opened in any other video player (VLC, Olive etc.)

OBSERVED RESULT
Files are coming from security camera ftp upload. About 5-10% of the files do produce the same error. Tried to change file size or saving the files at other ftp location, the randomness did not change.

EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Please try with the current Kdenlive AppImage version 19.12.1 to see if there are any packaging issues https://files.kde.org/kdenlive/release/ 

If the problem/issue doesn't occur when using the AppImage, then it's your configuration or packaging.


Delete following files: kdenliverc, kdenlive-appimagerc see here https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Configuration. Try again.
Comment 2 Sandor 2020-01-19 23:32:24 UTC
The files to be deleted were not on my system. 
I uninstalled Kdenlive and downloaded the latest AppImage.
The parsing error I can't reproduce since Kdenlive is no longer available as an "Open with" option in context menu.
There are still files though that can't be opened in Project bin.
I can open some of the files that I couldn't before, but now there are others that I can't open which I could before.

This one I could open before, but can't open now:

This one I couldn't open before, but I can open with the AppImage:

Thax for your time!

This is maybe fixed with the commits above. Can you please test with the latest version (20.12.2 at the moment, https://kdenlive.org/en/download/) and close this report if it is not relevant anymore?
